Strategic Energy Group

What Strategic Energy Group does

Strategic Energy Group (SEG) is a business consultancy specializing in Strategic Energy Management (SEM) program delivery, founded in 2005 and headquartered in Portland, Oregon. The company helps commercial, industrial, healthcare, education, and public sector organizations achieve sustained energy savings by embedding energy management into daily operations, culture, and decision-making — distinguishing its approach from equipment-only upgrades, which typically see savings decline within 36 months. SEG's cohort-based SEM delivery model combines technical energy expertise with organizational change management, covering leadership alignment, internal energy team formation, energy data tracking, performance monitoring, behavioral efficiency improvements, and ongoing coaching.

Over its 15+ year history, SEG delivered SEM programs for 40+ utility clients and managed energy solutions across 1,000+ commercial sites in the United States and Canada. The company's revenue model is professional services-based, with income derived from program delivery contracts, energy coaching engagements, and consulting services sold directly to utilities and enterprise C&I organizations.

In August 2025, SEG was acquired by TRC Companies, a Connecticut-based design and engineering firm, integrating SEM into TRC's Advanced Energy Programs division. TRC was subsequently acquired by WSP, a global engineering professional services firm, placing SEG's SEM service line within a much larger international platform. Post-acquisition, SEG operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary with its delivery model deployed across TRC/WSP's utility, energy, and commercial/industrial client base.
